Welcome to the CDI Virtual Exam Review Series, presented by the National Board of Public Health Examiners.

Each domain will be presented by a subject matter expert, and this is Domain 1: Planning and Case Analysis.

This domain outlines the essential steps taken before initiating the interview process. Planning and case analysis involve verifying reported information and using available data sources to obtain additional information about a person diagnosed with an infection to ensure a timely interview and referral to necessary medical and supportive services. Disease intervention professionals use local protocols to prioritize cases to maximize the opportunity for disease intervention.
